It\u2019s work that integrates my decades-long passion for and study of the intersection of psychology, spirituality, leadership, and other frameworks for maximizing human potential, and of the integration of body-heart-mind-spirit connection that empowers us to flourish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ever since I was quite young, I\u2019ve wondered about questions like \u201dWho is in charge, my heart or my head?\u201d \u201cWhat makes us truly happy and fulfillled?\u201d \u201cWhy am I here – what gifts am I meant to give to the world?\u201d<\/em> And so on. I\u2019ve chosen a life and career path that has allowed me to ask those kinds of questions, and to support others in exploring their own version of questions like these. Along the way I\u2019ve developed the gifts of deep listening, empathy, compassionate leadership, creating spaces and relationships grounded in psychological safety and trust, and many other skills that are foundational for excellence in coaching.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n I\u2019ve supported individuals and led groups and teams for decades, as a start-up entrepreneur in the education\/training industry, founder of a successful non-profit organization, an ordained rabbi and community leader, and an interfaith chaplain in hospital and hospice settings, where support for healthcare providers and teams was a key focus of my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My coaching certification comes through WholeBeing Institute\u2019s positive psychology program, and my mindfulness meditation teacher training certification, led by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, through the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\nI am a life-long learner, knowing that I can only coach, teach, lead, and connect from my own lived experience.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
